I have this book on the table to read. I also have UNDERGROUND and HOMEGOING. and will read them all. Question: I have to recommend a book for our 2018 book group, I wonder if any of the three would be a good choice. I am not thinking of the books but my group. We are level headed, and open but we are white. How can white women fully relate to any of the above? What can we bring to the conversation?

Gillian Katz YES. It is especially for white women. I am a white South African currently writing a book that is very similar to this one. As a book group with whit…moreYES. It is especially for white women. I am a white South African currently writing a book that is very similar to this one. As a book group with white women, you will see another culture, another time. Also how a white girl can get so close to her black nanny. I was very close to my black nannies, closer than I was to my own mother. This is a MUST READ for anyone wanting to learn about white/black cultures across the world.(less)
